A python has devoured a Northern Territory woman's 5.8kg pet dog, including the collar and name tag.

Patty Buntine's three-year-old Maltese terrier-cross Bindi disappeared from her Katherine home last week.

Ms Buntine said she was worried when Bindi failed to show up for her routine breakfast.

"She was always there so I got worried and went to look for her," she said.

"I went around the side of the house and that's when I found the snake. It couldn't move and had its head up in a striking position."

"It's belly was bulging - it looked like a great big coconut was inside it.

"I knew straight away that it had ate Bindi.

"I felt terrible - it's not very nice at all to think my little dog went that way," she told the Northern Territory News.
